Yes Thank You

Can anyone send me a diagram for a 1970 A/C Vacum Line Diagram?
-
I have that also. My computer tech installed it when it was in the shop.

I frequently use the Disc Cleanup on my computer. I was introduced to a free cleanup program GlaryUtilities.com and I like it as well You just have to hit no or cancel when it asks to update so you don't download the paid program. My PC stays on all the time now so the scheduled programs can run such as Defrag.

What did you do to your Monte today?
Big Jim replied to Xxyyzz's topic in General 70-72 Monte Carlo Forum
I finally got the fan to blow on high on the AC with a new 30 amp inline fuse and got the new idle stop solenoid installed and it stays on all the time. Must be wired to a switched circuit but not the AC circuit. Waiting on my new Grill Emblem today so I can install it. -
Did you replace the resistor wire to the distributor with a standard wire when you converted to HEI?

I have been there while visiting my daughter. Would have loved to have been there for a car show. -
I have seen some aluminum resiviors that look really nice in natural and black. Summitt probably has them. Mine is the cheap plastic one from Advance.
-
I changed mine out using exact fit trico at Advance. The blades are black instead of siver but otherwise match.
-
I ordered my top from a place in Charlotte that makes convertible tops as well. I don't remeber the name.
-
I also went with a non padded top. The seat covers came from Modern Chevrolet and were made by PUI.

We sell the heck out of Super Tech Carbeurator Cleaner at Wal Mart. They say it doesn't have oil like some of the name brand cleaners and it's cheap.
-
I have used the foul out adapters before in clunkers and it is also a teporary fix but it last longer than the exposed plugs.
-
It looks to be in really great shape.

If the Carb is a Rochester Quadrojet, It could be the choke pull off. make sure the vacum hose is good to the pull off Make sure the choke plate is opening as it warms up. The choke linkage could be binding as well not allowing the choke plate to open.
-
Looking good. It really brings back memories for me.
-
I used the bathtub style anchors we posted a good while back. Had to trim just a little to get them to pop in but wortked great with the original screws.
-
Worked for me.

Leaking xmission oil out of the speedometer input
Big Jim replied to AndyBill402's topic in Drivetrain Tech
I had the same problem and found the aluminum speedo gear housing was bad. Replaced it with a new steel speedo gear housing I bought off of Ebay and has not leaked since. Be careful not to loose the gear into the transmission when you pull the housing.Check out this link http://www.transmissioncenter.net/speedo...J2godaUAAGw#350 -
I just got them in from trim parts. Look and fit great. Is anyone reproducing the stainless drip rail moldings?
-
Is anyone making the horshoe pieces above the tailights?
-
I tried to get Steel Rubber to reproduce it but it was too complicated and expensive for them to reproduce no more than they would sell. They even tried to outsource it but no go.
-
Hey Jared, I hate I missed it this year. The car looks great. 72-71 huh. Sounds kinda like mine 70-72. Maybe I can come next year.
-
Tell us about it.

You can get a non vented gas cap at almost any parts store.
